Actually, the one thing that I dislike about AMG is that there is an obvious and definite disconnect between their reviews and their star ratings. Sometimes they even change the star ratings! In fact, I myself got them to change one:
If you look at the reviews of the two Blind Melon albums, you'll see they are written by the same person. In the past, the debut album was rated 4 stars, and Soup was rated 3 (which upset me in its self). This is despite these two lines in the Soup review:
"While it did not match the commercial success of the debut, Soup proved to be a challenging, gripping record that is just as strong and perhaps even more rewarding"
and
"Soup is one of the most underrated and overlooked great rock albums of the '90s"
I wrote to them and about a week later I noticed that both albums were magically rated 4 stars.
I still love the web site, though
